Highschool AU: Korra tries to find out her best friends feeling for her

Korra slid the folded up piece of paper across the table, nudging the note against her friends hand. Asami bit back a laugh, quickly taking the note eager to see what Korra had written.

I have a serious question to ask you.

Asami felt her stomach churn. What did Korra have to ask her? Was it bad? Asami quickly wrote her response.

Of course, I'm always here for you. What is your question?

Asami slid the paper back across to Korra. Korra just stared at the paper for awhile before she wrote her response, but continue to hold onto the note. Asami watched Korra out of the corner of her eye. Why had she not handed it back yet? It must be very serious. Asami started to worry. Finally Korra slid the paper back to Asami, looking out the window to hide her blush. Asami grabbed the note, ripping it open quickly.

Do you like me?

Shit. Asami stared down at the note. What should she say? Should she tell the truth? Korra would want Asami to be honest. Fine. Honesty it is. Asami scribbled her answer, handing the note back to Korra. Korra opened the note, heart pounding, dying to see what Asami had said.

No.

Korras heart sunk in her chest. Crumpling up the note, Korra slammed her head down onto her desk. How could she be so stupid? She just got rejected by her lifelong best friend. The girl she had been in love with since they were 7. And now she has ruined everything. Would Asami still want to be friends after this? No. No way. There is no way.

The bell rang and Asami stood up, hovering over Korra for a few moments before she left the room. Korra waited until she was sure that Asami had left, then she finally lifted up her head. Dejectedly picking up her things off of her desk shoving them into her backpack.

She noticed a note with her name on it in the middle of her desk. Korra looked from the new note to the one crumpled up in her fist. Throwing the balled up note on the ground Korra picked up the new note off her desk. With shaky hands Korra unfolded the paper.

Korra. I love you.
